Great explanation. Could you please be so kind to clarify what kind of ring are you using on the minute 10:26 to reduce light reflection? Is that a polarizer ring? Looking forward to hearing from you. Kind regards. Isma
They are putting an empty cylinder around the coin so that the only light that is hitting the coin is the indirect light from the reflection in the glass.
Hey I noticed tha t the camera you used was a Sony. And the Macro tube you used was for Fuji film. Was that a typo or was that really the tube you used with your sony camera?
It's a PVC ring and all it does is block the light coming from the front of the glasses reflection. It makes the light hit it from the top down reflection only.
I'm using an LED clip on light from Walmart! I plan on upgrading when I get this whole thing dialed in a little more. Any light that is white will work. If you have a yellowish halogen light it will likely effect the color of the coin.
Thank you for providing instruction of how to build this Axial Lighting Box for Coin Photography. You mentioned there were online schematics to build this, can you share that resource here please!
I have a large collection to Photograph. Does this method work for all coin types? I have some coins that are thick and have a high relief. What size and color is the tube you are using? Is the tube reflective?
Hey Michael. Thanks for asking. It does work for most coins with varying relief. The tube I'm using is just a 1" piece of PVC. IT's white and non reflective. The tube is just to block the light from the top so the light shines straight down. Hope this helps.
Hello friend. I was just scrolling and your channel popped up. Really good video. I'm a youtuber who sbows coins so I'm glad I found this video. You obviously love coins and I always subscribe to fellow coin collectors and stackers. Liked, subbed and 🔔
@@talkaboutcoins829 Awesome, thanks! I've been trying to get nice pictures of my ancient coins, but I just can't seem to get the lighting right so I may give this a try.
I tried this and it’s ok with my phone but I think I’ll probably have to invest in a good camera to get it to work my iPhone just doesn’t get the sharp details but it’s a good idea
I literally put coins on something black, close the blinds, get the camera directly overhead and take a 2 or 3 second exposure. Shows every nick in the coin. What you're doing is better once you've got the little rig built up but if you find yourself without, low light, long exposure and angle the coin so there's no bright spots on it. That's why I do it with the blinds close a lot easier to find a flat light spot
Your dad is awesome to help out! Such a great and easy way to shoot coins. Thanks for sharing!
He's a good dad. He likes building stuff, helping out and loves getting his tools out 😃
@@talkaboutcoins829 I wish I still hadmy dad around, you don't know how Lucky you are, thanks for the info.

Great video this I been waiting for someone to make a video like this
Thanks Colleen. Stay tuned for more coin videos coming up. Looking forward to teaching people more about photography and coins. :)

Hi. So it’s 50mm + 16 mm extender tube?
how do you prevent reflection of the bulb?
Damn homie..your pops is OG with the saw!
This is amazing! Most toners look flat in natural light. This is fantastic
What is "the ring" and what does it do?
It's a PVC ring and all it does is block the light coming from the front of the glasses reflection. It makes the light hit it from the top down reflection only.
What kind of lightbulb do you use in your lamp? Would a very bright LED light mess around with the pictures?

super great idea after the lockdown is lifted i need to built one
I'm going to post a video with a full tutorial and dimensions soon. Stay tuned.
@@talkaboutcoins829 Looking forward it will help to increase the quality of my pictures
Cardboard hot glue wooden sticks, headlamp, gg pixel 5!
How many of these do you want? I have multiple rolls that I’d be happy to artificially tone like you have, if you can sell them as such.

Sorry for the late reply. I'm actually working on building one and making a kit you can buy.. stay tuned!
…do you have the kit?
Thanks for sharing that, about inventory 13:09 time. 😄

Good job on showing how it is made. Thanks.
Thanks Cliff. I'll be posting a more detailed video with downloadable plans soon.
neat, I'm going to try something like this when the plague ends!
have you made it yet? LOL

Can i my phone to take yhe photo?
How freakin cool !!!! Yes I'm struggling to get the details out of a coin in photos , especially patina
Very impressed, im going to be building one soon.....TY
What is the ring you are putting around the coins?
It's a simple piece of PVC pipe about .75" tall

I just watched the video you showed from coin week. It would also show better if you cleaned that dirty glass 😂 ty
IT's hard to keep it clean. Even for a few minutes while filming there is dust and debris in the air that falls on it. I try!
Lighting is very important but it's all about your camera really!! No1 says anything about the camera,,, huh
That coin was toned from being wrapped in a napkin with sulfur in it. That's what all the circles are on the obverse.
Wow is this even worth my time watching
If you'd like to take good pictures it's worth your time. 😉
Lol
God love you dad but too painful to watch. Get a chop saw or a stable platform to work on.
Thanks Ken. He has a chop saw but felt like trying the manual saw. Just skip that part next time 😂😂
Great info! Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
